DESCRIPTION
We want to introduce you to this gorgeous female mastin cross of about 5 years of age. Her name is Diana, named after Princess Diana. That's why she is usually called "Princesa" by the people around her. Princesa already got to know the bad side of humanity. She was hit by a car and left on her own with a Pneumothorax for 24 hours until we saved her. After a long treatment she has recovered very well. But over 2 years later, she is still waiting to find her home!
Princesa is a very affectionate girl. She loves to be around her people and get cuddles, but she is also very protective of her home and her people. She has the typical character of the Spanish mastiffs and is calm and noble. She is currently in foster care in Northern Spain and living with a cat. It took some time until she got used to the cat as the cat was afraid of her size and wanted to run away each time she saw her, but with patience and time they got used to each other. Now Princesa protects the cat like she does with anyone member of the home and even shares her bedding with her. With other dogs on her walks she is fine and also happy to play with them, but she would prefer to be the only dog at home to have all the attention for herself.
Princesa is not a demanding girl. Having her walks, be with her people and to receive cuddles and affection makes her happy. She is a true family dog and loves to be around the people she knows and enjoy their company. Princess is obedient, walks very well on the lead and is house trained. She is used to the noises, the traffic and the hectic life of the city, as she accompanies her foster parents to the market or even to the shopping mall.
Princesa is looking for a dog experienced home. She may be easy going, but she is a very big girl, who can be stubborn and protective of her people - She needs a confident leader who tells her when her protection isn't needed. Her size in combination with her deep barking can be quite scary for people who don't know her and especially for children, therefore we are looking for a home that is used to her breed or a similar breed and who doesn't have young children (either resident or as regular visitors).
Princesa is ready to start a new chapter in her life and to get to know the good side of humans. Love, patience and commitment are the key for it and if you can offer this girl a lovely home and keep showing her the beautiful sides of life don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Please be aware that Princesa can be re-homed in England and Wales, but NOT Scotland. She will travel vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and tested for Mediterranean diseases.
